*Caveat: “murder” is first or second degree, and does not include manslaughter or attempted murder counts, nor dismissed counts.

3. Any record of 3000 pages or more, before or after augment

Note: a People's appeal of a motion for new trial
qualifies as an upper-tier-rate case where one or more of the criteria 1-3 in the above chart are met.

Step 3: Hourly rates are determined by the date of appointment. What is the date of your appointment?

Appointments on or after 7/1/16:

Upper-tier independent appointments = $115

All other independent appointments = $105

All assisted appointments = $95

Appointments on or after 7/1/07:

Upper-tier independent appointments = $105

All other independent appointments = $95

All assisted appointments = $85

Appointments on or after 7/1/06:

Upper-tier independent appointments = $100

All other independent appointments = $90

All assisted appointments = $80

Appointments on or after 10/1/05:

Upper-tier independent appointments = $90

All other independent appointments = $80

All assisted appointments = $70

Appointments on or after 10/1/98:

Upper-tier independent appointments = $85

All other independent appointments = $75

All assisted appointments = $65

Pre-10/1/98 Appointments [no independent tiers]:

AIl independent appointments = $75

All assisted appointments = $65

Clarifications: The filing of a Wende or Sade C. does not change the hourly rate.

Also, the proceedings underlying the current appeal control the rate.
For example, if an upper-tier appeal results in a remand for resentencing,
a new appeal from that resentencing would not invoke the higher rate.

Calculation of Mileage Rate

Step 1: Determine the date of appointment. For cases where counsel was appointed on or after January 1, 2017, the current mileage rate of $.50 applies. For cases where counsel was appointed before January 1, 2017, mileage rates are determined by the date of travel, not the date of appointment (see chart below).
